The 7 Levels of Breaking Your Phone Addiction

Hey! So… I put up a post the other day that got a bit of attention – Comments, DMs, all of it. And I wasn’t surprised.   I’ll start here – ‘Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water’.   Then I’ll follow that up with this… Your phone, and the apps, are NOT the problem. And here’s the

The body is the filter to the mind…

  I used to be quite heavy set…   I was lean as a teenager, but at around 20-22yrs old, as a young parent, I let go…   Then, one day, I had enough. I realised my son (then 2yrs old), was always going to see me as Superman, so why not actually live up to that? I realised that

Everybody needs a personal philosophy

  It’s 5:10am, and my mind is firing on all cylinders. Maybe it’s the coffee, maybe it’s the quiet, maybe it’s just that early-morning clarity that hits before the world wakes up.   But this is what I’ve been mulling over…   Everybody needs a personal philosophy to live by. A set of standards you can always go back to

The key to TRUE facility on the kit…

  What most drummers get wrong when it comes to developing real freedom and facility around the kit is this.   They spend almost all of their practice time in what I call the comfort zone.   Same ideas. Same patterns. Same movements.   Over and over again, expecting something to change. What was Einstein’s famous quote? “The definition of insanity

You don’t need motivation, you need higher standards…

  Yes, I know, it’s been a while since I’ve written. Not because I’ve had nothing to say, but because I wanted to adjust the way I say it.   Shorter. Sharper. Something I can send weekly, without the noise. I never want to be married to the way I do things, so I needed some time to figure out

Reclaim you time… NOW!

As you know, I am a relatively productive person. Mostly. Here’s some food for thought… Imagine if you took all your wasted doom-scroll time and consciously applied it to something seriously productive in your life. Just imagine. As it stands, in 2025, your attention is by far the most valuable asset you have. And guess what? You’re just giving it all away.

The Hidden Skill EVERY Drummer Needs…

Well, I’m back in full swing now, and it feels great. Although initially a little rough, the jet lag has ultimately favoured me. I’ve been going down at about 8pm and up at 3am, which means I’m back in the studio by 3:30am, knocking a couple of hours out before the day starts. Thats a win!   The setup I’ve

The Kiwi Has Landed…

  Long time no talk! Yes, that’s right, the kiwi has landed back in the homeland!   After 7 weeks, 11 beautiful countries, and 19 incredible shows with the powerhouse that is Natasha Bedingfield, I’m back home – coffee in hand, thoughts in my head, and feeling pretty damn grateful for what I just experienced.   Where Have the Newsletters

Optics is EVERYTHING!

  Play the part, and over time you will become the part…   Lots on at this end. Just got back from an epic private gig down in Christchurch. Here in NZ. With some of NZ’s ELITE musicians! (In my humble opinion) lol.   No, but seriously – Tiki Taané, Fran and Laughton KORA, and Joel, the lead singer of L.A.B. An A-list
